Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a silicone rubber coating surface treatment agent and its application, specifically belonging to the field of surface engineering technology. Background Technology

[0002] Heat-resistant coatings are applied to the outer surface of spacecraft and, after curing, form a heat-resistant coating that provides thermal protection. Silicone rubber heat-resistant coatings are increasingly used due to their good toughness and ability to be applied in large thicknesses. However, silicone rubber coatings have poor adhesion to the substrate, and the adhesion between the surface acrylic polyurethane topcoat and the silicone rubber coating is also poor. Therefore, surface treatment agents are needed to pre-treat the substrate surface to improve the adhesion between the silicone rubber coating and other materials.

[0003] Currently, commonly used silicone rubber coatings include condensation-type silicone rubber coatings TR-37 series and TR-42 series, and addition-type silicone rubber coatings TR-52 series. Commonly used surface treatment agents include DT1200 from Zhonglan Chenguang Institute.

[0004] The main components and proportions of the DT 1200 treatment agent from Zhonglan Chenguang Institute are shown in Table 1, based on the product MSDS.

[0005] Table 1. DT 1200 Ingredients

[0006] Serial Number Chemical Name CAS No. % (w / w) 1 petroleum ether 8032-32-4 >60 2 Butyl titanate 5593-70-4 <10 3 Tetrapropoxysilane 682-01-9 <10 4 Tetra(2-methoxyethoxy)silane 2157-45-1 <10

[0007] Furthermore, DT 1200 is a single-component treatment agent, and its adhesive effect varies with different temperatures and humidity levels. Also, because the catalyst and silane coupling agent are placed in one component, tests have shown that after three months of storage at room temperature, a change in composition occurs, leading to a decrease in adhesive strength. Figure 1 The image shows the GC-MS chromatogram of DT 1200 after it has been prepared and stored for three months. The changes in the peaks in the image indicate that the material composition has changed. Summary of the Invention
